Hi all,
My question is what is the best free software to "bridge" the
interface with the PC serial port, then to Misterhouse or any other
HA software?
I have all the skills required, but do not know what protocol to
present to the serial port?
CONTROLLED AT MOMENT
--------------------
I have a ceiling PIR that turns on a RF module connected to a PIC
micro, this sends data to a RF receiver. At the moment this receiver
then decodes the signal and if correct and it is dark in the room,
turns on a lamp for 30 seconds then switches it Off.
FUTURE
------
I would like to expand this using a PC to receive info from RF + PIC
modules via the RS232 port, then depending on light sensors, control
the house lighting.
I would prefer not to use X10 modules, as i will design my own using
433Mhz RF modules
I had thought of using X10 protocol though via my RF?
I have worked in electronics for 20 years so that side is not a
problem and PIC programming software skills, are ok.
Any suggtestions ideas welcome!
Regards,
Gary
